i think you should’nt compare the two. tiger made everyone think he was a good person. jesse james was no good from the start.  example, take his west coast chopper business the iron cross he uses as a logo should have been a red flag “no pun intended” as it is the medal of honor for the german millitary. to see him with a tramp dressed in ss uniforms and giving the salute is’nt really that surprising hes been racist from the start. sondra can say she did’nt know but if someone says “hey i’m going to hit someone in t6he head with a shovel”. than if they hit you with said shovel can you really be surprised. reason i put it like that is she had to know stuff like this was going to happen. when someone hates like that you can’t trust them if he has that much hate something bad was going to happen.  people do not make a big enough deal about that logo but to the over 10,000,000 jewish people that died under that flag. it burns me in two that she gets all the sympathy and elin gets the jokes. she was a good women who believed in someone the world thought was perfect she should get the love. while sandra should be the blunt end of the jokes weather or not shes racist i don’t know but it was thetre in the open she married him knowing that. i say guilty by at least association sometimes you get what you knows coming.

It is a great article and I agree with you, Sandra did the right thing, but there is a danger is saying that Sex Addiction is Lame.

I am one of those man who call themselves sex addict. When I first got into serious relationship I though I can be faithful just because I loved my GF, but I found out that it was not enough. I just didn’t know how to be faithful, I didn’t have the tools to be faithful. Believe it or not, it is a learned skill. So personally I have turned to pornography to control my sexual urges, which was contra productive and really messed up my brain.

I am in recovery now, and looking to get married soon. I am completely honest with my girlfriend, and she can really trust me.

I hope that other women can have experience similar to ours and not the one similar to Sandra’s. But for that to happen I believe it is necessary for us to stop saying that sex addiction is lame, but really look at the problem, and teach the young men the skills that they will need in order to become good husbands and fathers.

I couldn’t have said it any better. I applaud Sandra Bullock for taking a stand and saying to JJ… you cannot do this to me and get away with it.. I am out of your life mister and taking Louis with me. I do not need YOU!

Too bad Elin Woods hasn’t done the same with her serial cheatah woods, that happens to still think he is GOD’s gift to all the women on earth. You will get what’s coming to you too tw, the biggest and filthiest prostiture on earth.

Can sb explain me, why her son should get a Jewish Bris, although she isn’t jewish? This only thing smells PR. Apart from that I’m happy with her.
Elin reportedly has filed for divorce too and lives now in Sveden. Wait a minute, she is brave too and may be she too has a secret reason to hesitate.

This was an excellent read on the subject of cheating men, bad behavior, and how a strong, self sufficient woman handled the entire “MESS”.  Bravo to Ms. Bullock!  I would like to offer up something I have been wondering about Elin Woods for some time now.  I have not seen this in print but I am wondering if she is a USA citizen?  Can she legally take her children and just move out of the US to get away from Tiger as so many have advised?  She may be dealing with an entirely different situation than Ms. Bullock!  This could be part of the reason she is appearing to be a “doormat” when in fact, she is not!  Tiger is a creep but I would not put it past him to be playing some sort of legal games with her.  He cannot be the father he represents himself to be without the support of that loving wife Elin was.  And, his mother cannot replace Elin in the eyes of the law while he is off to one tournament after another.  This could be the difficult position Elin is in.  She may not be able to take the kids and just go home to start a new life!  Best wishes to Ms. Bullock while she starts hers!

If she indeed gave her son a bris, Sandra should be ashamed of herself.  You don’t get to co-opt other faiths’ sacred rituals just because you want to feel like a policially correct earth mama proper liberal.  But besides that, I think Sandra has handled this whole ordeal very well and I wish her and Louis the very best.  Elin, on the other hand, is clearly just a gold-digger.  She’s not divorcing Tiger yet because she wants to wait ‘til she can squeeze the most money out of him.  By remaining married to him just in order to get more cash, she’s acting like a hooker.  Meh.

Comment by Mac on 4/30/10 at 4:50 am

I dont agree with you, the two cases are different. Elin got kids from Tiger and needs to think of them too, whereas Sandra has no such restriction and can walk away from Jess with fewer problems. Tiger is just another guy with a high sex drive,  he is not an unpleasant nazi loving jerk like Jesse.

I appreciate the tremendous passion with which the topic of divorce, bravery and respect are discussed!  Based on the marriages we’ve seen completely turn around, let me ask 2 questions…  Is it easier to stay in a painful marriage or easier to escape via divorce?  Which requires more bravery, perseverance, self-sacrifice and high moral character:  parting - or working through tough issues “til death do us part”? We are well familiar with the dramatic, long lasting negative effects of divorce on children and the adults involved, and we are well aware that God “hates divorce” or so says the book of Malachi. Just a thought.

So Sandra..who is Jewish..is married to a guy who has sex with a white supremeist and poses with nazi attire..

To prove she is a not of his type she adopts a black baby..Good grief these people have way too much money and time on their hands..

Comment by tom on 4/30/10 at 7:45 pm

I think Elin is going to divorce Tiger. Neither are wearing their rings or living together. I also don’t think Elin is a doormate. She distanced herself from Tiger immediatly after the news came out.

To Tom: she didn’t adopt Louis to prove she wasn’t Jesse’s type. The baby was brought home in January long before the affair and the pictures came out.

Comment by Shea on 5/01/10 at 6:47 am

Yes, the first thought after your husband cheats is to run like mad, but you can’t be so mean about Elin if she’s trying to work it out.  What about the other women who have been humiliated by their high profile husbands and decided to work it out?  Is Hillary Clinton and David Letterman’s wife weak?  Do they not respect themselves?

Comment by Maya on 5/03/10 at 8:33 am

Her mother was Jewish, which makes Sandra Jewish.

Comment by Jenna on 5/03/10 at 3:14 pm

Why assume Sandra is not Jewish? I agree with everything you said - and hope Elin too has the self-respect to know that a cheater is a cheater. Sandra’s story got to us all because we believed that they were a great couple - she waited until she was 40 to finally let her guard down and James disregarded the fact that she did not do this lightly.  Shame on him and bully on this sex addiction.  Folks, all men have the potential to be ‘sex addicts,’ but those who have self-respect keep their pants up.

Comment by saddllp on 5/03/10 at 9:21 pm

Bullock a hero?  how ignorant. she’s too wrapped up in her own career to even know what going on at home. she is now abandoning Sunny. she adopted a baby when she is obviously unfit emotionally and was in a seriously bad relationship. she’s on such an ego trip she probably didn’t even consider that James would cheat on her. she admits she’s a controlling bitch in real life. and deep down James probably wanted out. stop idolizing these people. you only know Bullock as the person her publicist created. she’s 45 and bought a baby. when Louis is active and 10 years old she’ll be 55 and tired though still seriously botoxed. of course she’ll have her team of nannies and cleaning people. she’s pathetic.

Comment by hero? on 5/05/10 at 9:05 pm

One thing to remember, also, is the age difference in Sandra and Elin….45 yrs old::  looks at things a little differently.

So that’s how it happened…...Elin had already “dated”, i.e. slept with other golf pros before she met Tiger. She was an attractive nanny for Jesper Parnevik and had the opportunity to meet the golfers. It wasn’t until after they were married that Tiger found out she had slept with other golfers and was devastated. He was asked one night, while playing poker with a bunch of other golfers how it felt to know his wife slept with_____ and _____ ? This news was very upsetting to Tiger and changed his outlook and opinion of Elin - especially since she wasn’t honest about it before the marriage. It put him in a tailspin and forever changed their relationship. After that, he wasn’t faithful and she was well aware of his unfaithfulness and accepted it.

I’m sure Bullock was devastated by her cheating husband, but at least she had no worries WHATSOEVER about finances when she left the marriage.  “Average” women also bear the burden of extreme pain when they discover a cheating husband, but in many cases, they also have the burden of worrying about finances should they decide to leave the marriage.  “Average” women don’t have multi-million dollar bank accounts to fall back on when they make a decision to go from a two-income household to a one-income household, or worse yet, leave a household where the husband was the sole bread winner.  Everything is easier when you have lots of cash, and Sandra Bullock should in no way be considered a role model for the “average” woman who, along with emotional pain, also has to worry about finances when making a decision to leave a cheater.  I wonder if Ms. Bullock would have left Jesse James so quickly if she had no money of her own and had been financially dependent on him…I’m sure she would have had second thoughts and would have been much less courageous.
